Doll: JBF

After a year of on and off (mainly off) work, I've finally finished it: my tribute to Luka's signature song.

Yes, I think I started this back when I just finished my Korean Hello Kitty bride one last year. Yeah, that's long, but in my defense, maybe if stupid Windows Update didn't restart my computer on me I would've finished earlier. Sure, I could've just saved the WIP before hand, but how many of you remember to safety save, anyways?

Well, what do you think about the resemblance?

 My god are his pants bad. And his shirt. And pretty much everything about the boy because he's rushed. Luka was completed about a year back, or at least her hair was anyways. I think she looks way way better, but maybe it's because she's more colourful than her monochrome counterpart.
But you know what really steals the show? The balloon. Like man, you don't know how proud of it I am. It came out looking so good. Sure, it looks pretty bad in a dark background, but in a lighter one it's not so bad. I should've animated it because it looks so awesome, but that would also mean I need to add in blinking animations, which isn't cool, especially since there's two people.

And the JBF sign looks like poopie. Don't look at it. I just didn't have the heart to remove it because it took me so long to do.

Dollz: McDonald's Intrepretation of a Korean Kitty Bride

It's been a while since I've dolled anything. I've done pixel art, but I haven't really touched any drawing on top of  bases - until now.

EDIT: Added the final dot to her head - but no one saw the change anyways so it's all good.

The Korean bridal outfit worn by one of my Hello Kitty plushies.

My inspiration comes from, if you didn't already read early, a Hello Kitty plushie I have which is dressed as a Korean bride. Like with all my other multicultural bride and groom Hello Kitties and Dear Daniels, I got them all in Hong Kong from relatives but it's quite obvious from all the golden arches these dolls have on them that they're from McDonalds.

I can't say if the outfit is 100% factually  it probably isn't even remotely simular to real Korean bridal garbs, but I just copied it off a Hello Kitty. I'm pretty sure that the flower on her head isn't worn by real brides, but Hello Kitty always has something over her left ear. Hopefully the hair and makeup is right because Hello Kitty's lack of hair forced me to Google that up.

It was supposed to be "quick" but it really took me about a good 3 hours to finish. I blame the striped, multi-coloured wonsam. Can you tell it's supposed to have a red, green, and orange stripe?
Yup, I think I painstakingly tried to keep as much detail as I could, minus the McDonald golden arches on the ribbon-esque parts and some of the minute details on the cap.

All in all, I say that it's a giant leap from my previous dolls. For one, I didn't use premade palettes (which was kind of a pain) and in general it just looks better. I could show everyone my old dolls, but they suck. Period.

Can't wait to do the Dear Daniel counterpart to her.
